Which kernel are you using? I've heard a few problems mentioned with a
2.4.x kernel, but the "skge" and "sk98lin" drivers have been reported as
satisfactory in the 2.6.x kernels.
As for include errors, do you have the required devel packages installed?
By this, I mean (as an example) glibc-devel, and glibc-kernheaders.

While RH9 is marginally supported by fedoralegacy.org, you might want to
consider updating to a more current distribution.

Posting to an active news group might also help. This group has seen just
9 postings since the first of June. 'comp.os.linux.hardware' would work.
